But, but, but, Unemployment’s at 5.9%
Local news in Jax ran a story series yesterday about the amount of fraud in the food stamp program. Individuals are selling their EBT cards for 50 cents on the dollar. One guy admitted making 30K a month by doing the purchases and laundering the cards through his business paying, maybe, the tax on the income. I say maybe because he said IRS has had no problems with him. His scam was caught when he got picked up in a drug deal. News said there is one investigator for fraud stamp abuse in all of Jacksonville and they extrapolated the fraud in the program at a number in the multi millions.
